SBC asked me to do this since he posts from a PS3 and it takes forever to type out a paragraph, let alone keep up with something like this.

Anyway, this week it's Peachfuzz. Dude's been around for years, maybe even since the beginning of this whole thing. He's told some interesting stories that may or may not have been remembered by most, so I figured he'd be good for this.

1.) You've said before that you used to be quite the raver. What are your best and worst experiences with that scene?

2.) Your name comes from the fact that you're Native American if I'm not mistaken. What tribe, and have you ever faced any sort of racism or other such discrimination because of it? Also, (SBC says) you lived on a reservation for awhile, what was that like?

3.) I've seen you school people on math, physics, and other academic subjects that I slept through in the past. How much schooling do you have? Any degrees? If so, how long did it take you to get them, and what was the hardest part of the process?

4.) Why has a smart man such as yourself chosen to stay in the worst part of the country, and quite possibly even the worst state?

5.) You've talked about your baby momma before and relentlessly attacked Scarecrowe18 for being a deadbeat dad. What has your experience been with fatherhood and crazy women?

6.) If any law of physics were to cease existence right now, which would you have it be?

7.) Why did you choose an eyebrow piercing over something more manly?

8.) You said you ran a porn site of your own before you were 18. Did your parents ever find out? What about the cyber police? Ever thought about running any other kind of website?

Alright, that's all me and SBC came up with. Everyone else can add in questions about the stuff I forgot.

1.) You've said before that you used to be quite the raver. What are your best and worst experiences with that scene?

The best experience I've had in the scene would definitely be all of the real friends I've made. As the rave scene goes, a lot of kids float into and out of your life, but a few stick with you forever. There is no question in my mind that the kids I've met because of the scene have made a big positive impact on me.

The worst experiences (it's happened dozens of times) I've had would be watching kids that started off as decent human beings turn into complete and utter junkie losers. The scene cannot live without the drugs, and anyone who thinks differently is either new to it, or is just an idealistic idiot. The kids that choose to let the drugs take them over just become absolute wastes of flesh. They steal from you, they lie to you, and they will do anything in their power to get their next high regardless of how it comes about.

Two stories from that:

1.) Pretty early on in my rave career, I met this dude everyone calls "Mouse." He came to the apartment of one of my friends with his new girlfriend of about two weeks, Kiki (real name Kristen). You could tell this girl came from an upper class family as she wore exceedingly nice Christmas themed attire, and was very proper. Well, Mouse was a meth-head, and pretty soon Kiki became one as well. I saw them pretty regularly, about once every month or so, and over the course of about a year and a half I watched this bright and charming girl turn from daddy's princess into a complete and total meth-addict. All of her color flushed out of her skin and it slowly turned a pale grey hue. She wore crappy, torn, and dirty clothing. She didn't care much for hygiene any longer. Basically, she was just a shell of a person. Mouse became a born again christian about two years ago and dropped her because she wouldn't/couldn't get off of the drugs that he hooked her to. From what I know, she's still floating around in crack houses and such.

2.) I had this one friend named Anthony, but everyone called him Tone. He must've weighed almost 400lbs, and nobody ever had any idea how old he was. He never carried identification, and he never told anyone his age. We all guessed that he was about 17 or so when he started hanging out with us, but we didn't really question it too much either since he would get pretty weirded out when talking about the whole thing. We became pretty good friends, and I was actually the only person to whom he'd sell his dad's personal stash of homegrown weed.

Anyway, I moved away from Columbus in 2004, and we just drifted apart. I'd make it a point to see him every single time I came back to town to visit, but that wasn't very often at all. Fast Forward to June 2008, and I log onto AIM in the morning to see that one of our mutual friends posted an away status as "R.I.P. tonE." I immediately call her up to find out what the fuck she was talking about. Apparently, Tone had been up on a four day meth binge (he had become a meth addict during the four years of my absence). He went to sleep the last night, and his sleep apnea coupled with his meth binging finally caught up to him, and he never woke up.

I packed my shit up as fast as I could, and I was on my way to Columbus within 15 minutes of the news. He was cremated because he family was poor and couldn't afford a full funeral, but they had a get-together for all of his friends at a local banquet hall. Holy fuck, everyone was pretty much in tears the entire time, and it was just an extremely sad time. The next day, his dad invited me and a few other of Tone's really close friends over to his house for lunch, and while we were all sitting there talking, the dude from the funeral home unexpectedly brought his urn to the door. So, the last time I saw my friend was when his father brought him through the living room in a gold-plated urn and set him on top of the refrigerator. That was not a good day.

So yeah, there is a reason why I hate people who are fucking junkies. It isn't because I have some high-faluting sense of moral empowerment. It's because I've seen it plenty of times first hand, and I know how it affects those who are close to an addict.

2.) Your name comes from the fact that you're Native American if I'm not mistaken. What tribe, and have you ever faced any sort of racism or other such discrimination because of it? Also, (SBC says) you lived on a reservation for awhile, what was that like?

My name sort of comes from the fact that I'm Native American in a roundabout sense, lol. Native Americans are known for having little to no body hair other than on the tops of their heads, and bases of their dicks. Where most guys have hair on their arms, I have nothing save for really scant, white, soft, and fuzzy hair. Some of the girls in High School who I was friends with would rub my arms and say "it's like peach fuzz! tee hee!" So, when I was thinking of a name for the old GoTJ ride board back in like 2001, I used "peachfuzz the klown." I quickly shortened it because I thought "the klown" part sounded really stupid. I've been known as peachfuzz on every single message board or pretty much everything else since then.

As to my tribe, I am a Seneca, which is part of the Iroquois nation in New York State, and I am part of the Turtle Clan within the Seneca Nation. The Senecas are known as "The Keepers of the Western Door" in the Iroquois considering their territory runs from the PA boarder in the west, over to about the Rochester area nearing the middle of the state. I've never experienced any real sort of racism for it though since I look pretty white (thanks, mom...), and pretty much anyone who has ever asked me about it is interested to know more stuff rather than being disgusted.

My reservation is a bit strange considering there is a small town located right on top of it, so it isn't like the Indian reservations you see in the movies with the tumbleweeds blowing by and shit, although it isn't far away from that either. The town is pretty much split up into two parts, even though it is all on the reservation. There is the white people part, and the Native American part, which is referred to as "Jimersontown," "Jimtown," or "Apache Junction (lol)."

Growing up here was usually pretty much the same as every other small town, but there were definite times when there were major differences. White girls and white guys never dated Natives, and the same was true the other way around also. Even hooking up with a Native person could potentially get your ass kicked if you were white, unless you were in really good with them, which was rare. There were a couple of times that the Senecas burned tires and shut down one of the major highways in NYS because the state tried to enforce taxes upon the Nation. I was something like 10 the first time, and 14 the second, but I don't remember the first one that well. The second was absolutely nuts though. The Senecas essentially closed down the entire town, and burned tires on the interstate so that nobody could even cross the land. The National Guard was just about to come in and impose martial law when NYS finally decided to not go after taxes. That was like a weeks worth of pretty intense shit.

Other than a few other minor incidences though, growing up there was the same as growing up in any other small, isolated town in America.

3.) I've seen you school people on math, physics, and other academic subjects that I slept through in the past. How much schooling do you have? Any degrees? If so, how long did it take you to get them, and what was the hardest part of the process?

Lol. Almost everyone sleeps through Math and Science classes when they're in High School, but they're pretty fucking interesting once you're in college.

Right now, I only have a general Math/Science Associates Degree from a local community college, but I've been at Ohio State for a year and a half now, and hopefully have less than two to go. The problem is that when I transferred to OSU, they pretty much refused any Math or Science credit from my community college, so I had to start all of that whole process over again. Sure, they accepted my liberal arts credits like English, Psychology, Philosophy, etc., but anything that had to do with hard sciences, they were like "fuck you, nigger!" So, the degree that should have been four years is going to take me five to obtain.

The hardest part of the schooling process is keeping yourself focused, without a doubt. There are times when you have a thousand people asking you to come out and party on Friday night, but you simply can't because you have to study for a huge mid-term on Monday. Also, I tend to be a procrastinator, so there are times when I have a 10-page paper due in two days that I haven't even started, lol. But generally, it really just comes down to realizing that every day is one day closer to getting that almighty sheet of paper that says "i dun gots a edumacated."

4.) Why has a smart man such as yourself chosen to stay in the worst part of the country, and quite possibly even the worst state?

Haha. I agree that Ohio fucking sucks, but it is nowhere near the worst state. It is heaven when compared to a shithole like New York, believe me. Also, I think it is pretty well known that I hate most of Ohio as well. Fuck Cleveland, Fuck Dayton, Fuck Cincy, Fuck Toledo, Fuck Canton, Fuck pretty much every place other than Columbus. Columbus is an awesome city with a lot of awesome people (just stay away from the southeast side).

I choose to stay here because from the moment I set foot in the city in 2000, it just felt like home. I just got an overwhelming sense of "this is where I belong," and I still absolutely love the place ten years later. I chose to go to Ohio State after finishing my Associate's degree because I've loved the Buckeyes since I was a little kid, and then I later became fascinated with the campus while I lived there off and on from 2000 - 2004.

5.) You've talked about your baby momma before and relentlessly attacked Scarecrowe18 for being a deadbeat dad. What has your experience been with fatherhood and crazy women?

My BM isn't really all that crazy, she's just soulless. I've had plenty of experience with really crazy females though.

Fuck, I dated this one girl (Laura) for a year when I was 19 - 20. We worked together at McDonald's, and I asked her out one night when I came through the drive-thru. That bitch was fucking INSANE. The only, ONLY way I can describe her is to relate her to Kate Hudson's character in "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days." She was the EXACT character, but in real life. She was bulimic/anorexic, bi-polar AND manic depressive, and she was also sheltered as a child. We could be sitting there laughing and having a great time one second, and then it was like someone flipped a switch, and she could turn into a raging, lethal mega-bitch, or start crying inconsolably for hours. You pretty much had to walk on egg shells around her at all times, and none of my friends or family ever liked her. I took her to see the stupid fucking aforementioned movie, and I just sat there thinking "holy shit, this is the girl that is sitting next to me" the entire time.

It sounds strange, but after seeing that movie with her, I couldn't date her anymore, so instead of turning the breakup into a whole big affair, I signed up for college and didn't tell her about it until the day I left. Dick move, but I don't really care. It was like:

She couldn't have been that broken up about it because a few years later she contacted me to come fuck her when I was back home, and I promptly did so. That was the last time I saw her though, and I am thankful for that. Crazy fucking bitch.

On a lighter note, being a father is the absolute most awesome thing I've ever experienced. I never post about it on here or on facebook because 99.824% of people don't want to hear about your kids. Hell, I don't want to hear about other people's kids most of the time, so why would I subject them to hearing about mine?

Anyway, before I had my child, I was in a relationship with a girl for about two years and she had two kids of her own. The oldest was three, and the younger was 16 months when she first moved in, which was only a few weeks after we started dating exclusively. I've said before that I'm a homewrecker, well this is from the marriage I killed. I helped raise those children for two years, and I never once felt any real shred of attachment to them. Sure, I was loving, and still a great "stand-in" father, but I still knew that they weren't mine, so their achievements never really mattered to me even though I would always make sure to thoroughly commend them on every new thing they did/learned. It is completely, 180 degrees different with my own kid though.

Every single little thing she does is absolutely precious to me, it is fucking strange because I'm not the kind of person who has ever been into that at all. She was the first baby I ever held, and I knew from the exact moment I had her in my arms for the first time, that I absolutely loved her with every fiber of my being. She just turned two at the beginning of July, and she's learning a hundred new things every day. She is a completely different kid pretty much every time I see hear every other weekend, lol. Just being able to watch her grow up is an experience that I am so entirely thankful for that it can't even be quantified.

6.) If any law of physics were to cease existence right now, which would you have it be?

I could be a dick and say "there is no such thing as a "Law" in Physics," but I'm not going to.

I would have to say Conservation of Momentum because I think it would be hilarious to see a bunch of objects slowly colliding into other objects and those other objects bouncing away at extremely high speeds while setting the whole scene to the Benny Hill theme.

7.) Why did you choose an eyebrow piercing over something more manly?

There is no such thing as an "unmanly" piercing. "Unmanly" is a term that is set by society rather than logic. I don't consider anything about getting a razor shape needle rammed through a flap of skin unmanly at all. If anything, every single piercing is manly as fuck.
However, I decided to get that piercing because when I was younger, I was going to have a theme for my facial piercings. I was going to keep the right side unpierced while having the left all pierced, i.e. eyebrow, ear, nose, lip, anti-brow, cheek. I had one on the left side of my lip, and one on the inner part of my left brow also, but those two fell out, and I never got them replaced. Currently, I have my tongue, two on my outer eyebrow, an industrial through my left ear, and two cartilage piercings that ring around the industrial.

8.) You said you ran a porn site of your own before you were 18. Did your parents ever find out? What about the cyber police? Ever thought about running any other kind of website?

It wasn't a website that I ran, it was an fserv on IRC.

Basically, the way it worked is that I had all of these files on my computer in a certain folder/directory. I loaded IRC with a fserv script that would allow people in whatever chatroom I was in to look through (in a simulated DOS mode) and download/upload to that directory as long as they typed a trigger word into the chat window. I can't remember what the fuck my trigger word was though.

Anyway, the fserv I ran had a 1:3 byte ratio, meaning that for every 1 byte of shit they uploaded, they could download 3 bytes. Essentially, it's like uploading one pic and then being able to download three other pics of the same file size. A common session would be something like this:

!triggerword (when typed into the chat window would open a private message session with the user)
dir (typed into the pm window shows all of the folders and files located in that directory)
cd <directory name> (when typed into pm window would move you into the desired folder)
cd.. (moved out of the current directory and back to the previous)
/ctcp <fserv name> <filename.extension> (typed into the pm window would send them the requested file)

I had a separate upload folder that was invisible to the user, and I would sort through it every single day. My fserv was so well organized that it bordered on OCD. I kept a pretty vast array of stuff on that thing, and say if someone wanted to see a girl fucking another girl in the ass with a old school dial phone (yes, I had this exact picture on there), you would just type in the stuff to get into the "lesbian/fetish/hardcore/objects" directory and look for a picture that said "phonefuck.jpeg" or something like that. Most other servers just had two directories, one for pics and one for videos. Mine was like you were going through your own computer.

And, I kept that thing to a very high standard also. There were no corrupted files, grainy/half downloaded pics, and ALL of my videos had sound. That was a decently uncommon thing for a video to have back then for whatever reason, but I would delete any vid that didn't have sound to it. Fuck that, I gots customers to make happy.

My parents never caught me, no. I was too sly for that. I had my porn folder both locked and invisible, and I had every folder located within the porn folder individually locked and invisible as well. Then, I had a main folder that had a set of four folders inside, and every folder inside there would lead to another set of four folders, and so on. So, there was only one correct path to even get to the actual porn folder, and that was a fifty step process. Good luck spending 300 years going through every possible combination of folders to get to the right one, and then not even being able to see if you've arrived at the correct destination because it'll just look empty unless you somehow guessed my 20 character alphanum + symbols password to my FolderGuard program.

Back at that point in time, it was only JUST starting to come onto the radar for the police. Hell, the internet was so new, and moved so quickly, that the authorities pretty much had no clue how to counteract what was going on. I ran the server for about three years until I was 17, and I started to hear more and more news about people from IRC getting arrested for distributing porn, so I stopped. I was going to stop it before I was 18 anyway, so it just gave me good reason to quit sooner instead of later.

I've thought about a few different kinds of websites, but they wouldn't be porn related at all. I would want to keep everything 100% legal and legit with zero chance of the authorities getting involved whatsoever.

It actually reminds me of this one thing I had to do in a psychology class I took a couple years back. It was a weird class where the student number was held to 15 maximum, and it was meant to teach people how to get closer to, and interact with strangers. At the beginning of the term, we each had to write down three things we wanted to change about ourselves through working with the class that semester. Little did we know that those three things would become firing line fodder for everyone else in the class to put you on the spot and ask you questions for like 45 minutes, with one student being the center of attention each class.

Most people were really shy when it was their turn to be asked questions, but I decided that I was going to be completely honest and just lay everything out there. Jesus, the class talked to me for almost two hours because I was just candid, open, and non-chalant about everything they asked. The professor said that was one of the best interviews she's ever conducted throughout her 35 year teaching career.

I really do like this "Getting To Know..." thing. I really do feel like I know a million more things about you than ever before. That's crazy shit, and really sucks about your friend Tone. The memorial shit, with no real funeral, just a gathering of friends was exactly what we did when Dave died.

Also, the porn IRC shit is bonkers haha. Good shit man.

Think I'm gonna make a sub-forum for this soon.

Haha, thanks man. I'm actually liking this interview stuff also, honestly. It is kind of strange to be on a board for so long and not really know many people on a more personal level at all. Every other board I've been on save for the GoTJ board has made me a good amount of irl friends, but then again, they were boards that were pretty local to either the buffalo/toronto or Ohio areas.

The porn story is one I love to tell to people. I get mixed reactions with it, but most find it hilarious, and it garners a plethora of lolz for a table full of beer drinking college kids.

And yeah, I feel you on the death stuff. I've kept my mouth pretty quiet on that tip other than a few words here or there because I don't feel it is right for anyone to mourn the loss of someone they never really personally knew. However, that doesn't mean the empathy hasn't been there.

Do I have to pick just one? I fucking love board drama, though I don't really try to create it myself, I just am the type of person who can't keep his mouth shut when I really have something to say. Other than sporadic snide comments though, I don't think anyone here has ever seen me just troll someone for the sake of trolling them to intentionally create drama. Every single time I start a drawn out board battle with someone, I always have a point and an objective.

With that said, board drama is really why I still love KBC after six years of being here. Sure, most of the people are pretty awesome, and fun to talk to, but any message board gets stagnant and boring after a while. The drama is what recharges my batteries, and keeps the place fresh. It's like for a week every six months or so, most of the entire board just unifies together around this one thing, and then we all get to laugh about it for months, even sometimes years after.

I would have to say if there was one situation that I enjoyed just a little more than the rest, it would have to be the Rob/Six duckjob stuff. I just thought that entire situation was pants wettingly hilarious, and it was my first experience with sfu ruining lives.

Ever see user names on a message board and think of the people as just kind of "being there." Nothing really makes them stand out, they don't draw attention to themselves, etc. That is peachfuzz to me. No disrespect is meant by that statement...I just have seen his name on the message board scene for years now and to be completely honest, had no idea he was so interesting.

Good questions and an even better read. Peach seems like a cool, intelligent guy and I have more respect for him after reading this thread.

since you left have any of the "old school" Indians gave you shit for leaving?

Nope. That's the cool thing about most Natives. Once you make good friends with one of them, you're good friends with all of them for life. I had about half a dozen good Native friends in High School, and they do nothing but cheer me on and drink with me when I'm home. And, I guarantee that if I ever needed any muscle, I could have probably 20 huge dudes at my door in under fifteen minute with just one phone call.

People don't fuck with you on the Rez if you're Native, or if you're good friends with them.

are there any rituals your family or tribe follow to this day?

My family has never been one to follow any of the old school rituals, at least not since I've been alive. The tribe does do certain things to keep the culture alive like spiritual dancing, or making food, stuff like that. It's sad to say that the Seneca Nation itself has pretty much been diluted into a bunch of money grubbing bureaucrats who would cut their brother's throat if it meant they'd see a 1% yearly revenue increase.

what was the most profound effect X had on your mind?

It absolutely blew the doors off of my fear of death. I once had an almost eight hour conversation about death, what death is, what death means, why we die, etc. etc., and I came to the conclusion that it is the one and only thing that is absolutely inevitable in life, and since there is not one single thing we can do to get around that inevitability, there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of it.

Honestly though, I try not to think too deeply when on X simply because it can have those life altering consequences. It's kind of like this:

Think of something in your life that you really love, not a person, or a place, but something like an idea. Now, try to think of every single possible aspect of that idea, both positive and negative. Then, try to think about every single possible aspect of the positives and negatives from the previous aspects, and so on. It is hard as fuck to do while you're sober, but it seems more than natural when you're on X. Depending on your mood, or even your very recent experiences, you can subconsciously decide to allow the negative aspects outweigh the postive, and by the time you're done with all of this thinking after a few hours, you'll come away with a very strong, very powerful, and very new understanding of that idea. If you've taken negative aspects from your thought experiment, you will very soon grow to hate what you previously loved.

It sounds strange, but pretty much anyone who has been on X should be able to corroborate what the runaway "thinking train" is like.

When do I get my invite down to OSU for a weekend RAGEFEST?

I invited you a long time ago if you remember. It is an open invitation, and you're welcome to come down whenever you have time... as long as I know about it, and you don't just break into my apartment/drink all of my beer when I'm not home.

Well, thanks dude.

It is actually intentional, so I take it as a compliment. I'm usually the same way in real life until you get a few drinks in me... then I can become quite the loud mouth (Will can vouch for that). I would just rather stay out of peoples' way, and not cause waves because I would like to think that I have a good set of manners (other than scratching my balls in public), and I don't like adding to another person's already troubled mind.
